Discovered a leak under the kitchen floor of a 1934 house - floorboards covered in square of hardboard? then lino. A gully of water underneath!
The plumber identified water seeping through bricks from the toilet drainage pipe at ground level. Lifted the sewage cover in the garage and he thinks it is water seeping back from where the short bit of right angle pipe meets the drainage channel. Sealed it with some epoxy but not well in my opinion - didn't clean it properly. Ordered some Bostik Cementone to do it myself better.
My question is, if the doesn't work what about one of those epoxy inserts that get inflated or similar? One foot would be enough to cure? Is there a DIY way? Cant see any point in paying hundreds for such a small bit.
I'll get a photo tomorrow but it looks like the attached, the drainpipe also runs into the same sewage channel.
